  Leverage language skills in French & English combined with legal and business background to serve a diverse international clientele in arbitration, estate planning, family law, and contract negotiation and drafting. I also introduced project management methods to manage the firm’s international cases by utilizing Clio, Microsoft Access, and SharePoint. Within my first six months, I was closely involved in over 30 cases, communicating directly with clients, preparing, drafting, and reviewing legal documents and contracts. I also introduced a Microsoft Access database to automate weekly status reports to the international team, helping them not only maintain an overview of all open cases, but also define and solve the bottlenecks and strains in our workflow. * Areas of specialization: US Immigration, Inheritance and Estates, Contracts, and Arbitration Show less
